Groundbreaking

The Frisco Texas Stake was dedicated in May 2008. Since the dedication, we have been using our new building as a Stake Center. We had the opportunity a few weeks back to participate in the groundbreaking of our new Stake Center. It was a nice experience and adds further testimony to the growth of the church in this area.












The location is 5 miles from our home. (It is a nice Saturday morning run.) So, the following week after the dedication, a few of us ran out there and we are happy to report that the earthmoving equipment has started pushing dirt and the stakes are in the ground. I'm excited to run back there again to see the progress!

How fun to be in an area where you can not only see, but participate in the growth of the church.

That is so cool that your kids were able to help 'break ground'. Grandpa Omerza (Lefty) helped with the building on Seventh Avenue and Southern in South Phx. Story is that he learned the gospel while pounding nails with the bishop. Obviously Grandma (Ora) had a lot to do with him seeing the gospel in action, but the bishop helped with the doctrine.

You probably heard, but my parents (Jay & Marlene) will be on their way to Lubbock for a family history service mission (archiving court documents on film) soon. They're at the MTC now. Supposedly the area they'll be in has room to grow as well.

My Chris like to read your boys' blogs. Thanks for sharing your lives via the web.

Love you all!
